FAQs ABOUT ULTHERAPY PRIME®
WHAT IS ULTHERAPY PRIME®?
Ultherapy PRIME® is the next generation of Ultherapy®, a non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens the skin on the brow, neck, and chin, and improves lines and wrinkles on the décolletage, through the deposition of micro-focused ultrasound energy.2
Ultherapy® is the only device on the market to feature real-time visualisation, allowing your provider to see exactly where they’re treating, resulting in a natural lift that’s personalised to you.
IS ULTHERAPY PRIME® SAFE?
Ultherapy PRIME® builds on the well-established safety profile of Ultherapy®, which is scientifically supported by more than 120 publications and over 3 million treatments performed in more than 80 countries worldwide.7
In addition, ultrasound technology has a proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.
HOW ARE ULTHERAPY PRIME® TREATMENTS PERSONALISED TO MY NEEDS?
Ultherapy PRIME® is the only non-invasive skin lifting and tightening treatment that features real-time visualisation. This allows the practitioner to assess your skin prior to treatment and precisely deliver energy where you need it most. Through this technology, the treatment can be personalised to your individual needs, resulting in a safer and more effective treatment for you.
WILL I NEED TO TAKE TIME OFF?
No. With Ultherapy PRIME®, there is no downtime. After your treatment, you can resume your normal activities immediately, following the instructions of your practitioner.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
There may be slight redness that typically resolves within a few hours following the treatment. Some patients may have slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Since the procedure stimulates a person’s own collagen production, how long the results last depends on the individual. While results appear over two to three months, they can last up to a year or more.1,2,5,6 The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but the individual’s natural ageing process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Future touch-up treatments can help provide more control over the ageing process, which varies by
individual.1,4,5
WHAT DOES ULTHERAPY PRIME® TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?
As ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel the sensation of heat and/or tingling, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Treatment comfort levels vary from person to person, and your practitioner will discuss your personalised treatment plan with you.
